Beautiful teachings with music in the background. Some of the music is more upbeat. There are a few track that are slower; Pema Chödrön, Tara Brach, and Thich Nhat Hanh. I have them in a playlist in my iPod. When I have trouble sleeping they are so helpful in relaxing my mind and bringing me to sleep. One of the few playlists that I can play over and over.

I have 'Heartbeats' playing in the background all day long! It is the perfect consciousness tool for a busy person. I don't have to take time out to listen to the teachings (although I do put them on as I go to sleep) as the mix of music and profoundness permeates my home. Thank you Monique Rhodes for a beautiful album and passive meditation tool.

Unique delivery of the words, of some of the more renown spiritual guides of our time, intertwined with music/sound. Powerful messages, in an easy to listen to format make this sound track a handy reminder tool; you may want to listen to often if not daily.

The messages from our teachers emanate from the place of stillness. Does the background field of sound and rhythm help or hinder our experience of our inner stillness. The place of nothingness. How do we represent that in sound? Or can we?

We must employ the same practices our spiritual teachers teach us when it comes to evaluating our 'musical experience'. Take the words away and, being sincerely honest, is what you are experiencing true to the message of the speaker? Does the music move you even remotely the same way. Our musical experience is based on our musical conditioning.

Absolutely beautiful! It's inspiring, motivating and relaxing all at the same time. Listening to this spiritual journey has done wonders for my yoga abilities. I'm a big fan of Monique and she continues to impress. I highly recommend this album along with all of Monique's work.

If you like your tunes chilled out, the backing tracks alone place this wonderfully accomplished album high up on the list of must haves. When combined with such extraordinary words of wisdom, each piece comes alive, making the truth of every sentence sparkle. I have listened to many albums of a similar genre over the years, but rarely have I been left for wanting more when the last track comes to an end.

This is truly amazing! Love listening to this album especially while doing my yoga stretches and before bed. Refreshing, soul soothing, thought provoking wisdoms married with artistically arranged music that both energises and releases you on a one hour spiritual journey. From Eckhart Tolle, Caroline Myss, Thich Nhat Hanh .. A spiritual teacher for everyone.
A must have - thank you
